as of now Marmol since June 19th 12 ER in 8 2/3 innings
-
Every reliever should be available tomorrow anyway. Howry will be the only one who pitched 2 consecutive days. I'd rather not kill Marmols arm though. Last year he pitched in 59 games and 69.1 innings. This year he has already pitched in 48 games and 51.1 innings. He started the season at AAA so overall he had more innings than that last year. EDIT - sorry late to the party on that one everybody go home illini f-ed it up for everyone
-
and maybe he can stop doing his Zito impression on the mound ... my worry level for him is very high its been a whole month of crap
-
Rich Hill: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 8 GO-0 FO.

both

I like Marmol here. The way he has been craptastic lately I think it is a good spot to put him in to end a game where you still have a bit of a cushion so if he gives up 4 runs with no hits again we can still get the W.
-
Do you remember how he pitched at the end of last year? 11 innings pitched and only 1 run allowed so I think he earned his playoff roster spot. Not sure why he can't get it together this year. After what I've seen from both players today I vote from bringing Hill up and sending Hart to Mesa.
-
someone remind me what Hart is doing on this team the guy is no where near big league ready
-
Oh goody this guy stinks and Gallagher is great for the A's. We are so screwed.
-
Anyone else think Butkus sounds a bit like Pat Summerall on the radio.
-
I would expect someone to offer him something around 4 yrs/42-48 mil if his era stays under 3.75. If his era is right at 3.75 he'll get offered 42 mil if it stays say around 3.40 he'll get offered 48 mil.
-
Gallagher and Murton have nice debuts

who said Edmonds was coming back down to earth ... that person should lose thread starting abilities for awhile.
-
I've been blacked out all week. Was blacked out everyday for the cinci series and today. If I didn't love the Cubs I would boycott MLB in protest.
-
what i'd LIKE to see and what he should be allowed to do are two very different things. well he's got 53 pitches through 4. At that pace he can go 8 on 106 pitches and have 16 strikeouts.
-
No. 37
-
Well Hendry ruined our team with this trade. Harden stinks. He's only got twice as many strikeouts as hits and walks. I expected more.
-
Personally, I'd like to see 4 or so good starts at AAA before bringing him back up to the majors. The last thing they want is for him to not be quite ready and then have to send him back down or whatever. If he comes up, it better be for good. That and Marquis has been pretty good lately which is bound to not last but you don't replace him when he's doing well.
-
Penguins will soon have a dynasty. They got arguably the two best players in the league and both are under 22 years old. And their goalie young and good too.

if she's lucky yes

How do you most like to eat Oreo cookies?
CubbieBum replied to Slugger_16's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I like to eat mine alone. That way I don't have to share. I eat mine by dipping the whole thing in milk until just before it starts to fall apart and then eat it. By the end I have a cup of some what chocolate milk. It's the bonus for all my hard work. -
Mariners release Sexson
CubbieBum replied to C.C.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He would be a great pinch hitter but I doubt he would ever take that role. And seriously people there have been one year wonders dating all the way back to the creation of MLB. He was always big. -
Rays cartoons (trust me you want to see this)
CubbieBum replied to inari's topic in General Baseball Talk
I had a smirk from how bad they were all the way through but when Pena said big guy in a small ship like Farley said fat guy in a little coat I lost it. That is the cheesiest I don't care what Mac & Cheese try to claim the Rays take the noodle. -
I'll take Theriot this season and for the future no money angle included. You look simply at the numbers and Theriot is already better than Jeter and that gap will only widen in the coming years. In a year or two there could be a big issue with jeter. He will be so bad at SS defensively that no team will play him there yet has never learned to play another position. He is no longer a good enough hitter to use as your exclusive DH so where does he go. It's either he learns 2b or he learns to be content with retirement in my eyes. Theriot isn't good at defense but has shown he can play 2b already which is easier defensively so when he slips you can move him over. Jeter is a good leader but that really doesn't hold too much weight. Players all adults and only go so far with leadership plus it's not like Theriot is going to be any kind of problem player. Jeter used to be a great player but used to holds no weight in this kind of discussion. In regard to the person who said how long can someone be overrated when every thinks he is. Well when you get MVP votes with the kind of season he had last year you will keep that overrated title.

What the hell happened to Freddy Sanchez?
CubbieBum replied to inari's topic in General Baseball Talk
He was a batting champ that's pretty darn good but has been injured multiple times the last two years.
